纽森签署13项选举保护法案：抢夺选票定重罪 加州设防联邦干预
洛杉矶——加州州长纽森9月19日在位于加州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市小东京的 Democracy Center（日美国家博物馆）签署一揽子13项选举保护法案，为干扰加州选票与选举系统的行为设立新的重罪罚则，防范联邦官员或任何其他人干预11月的中期选举。该地点去年曾有联邦特工上门，州长办公室称之为对加州官员和洛杉矶社区的「政治恐吓」。
纽森在声明中说：「特朗普不会罢休，直到他能对你们的自由投票实施独裁控制、剥夺数百万人的选举权。加州会在每一个机会阻止他。我们没有比捍卫投票权不受干涉与操纵更大的任务——民主的未来在此一举。这些法案将在加州已经筑起的选举保护墙上再添砖瓦。」
法案要点包括：AB 282（Pellerin）规定，在选举结果由选举官员认证之前，抢夺、致使或协助抢夺选票、选举记录或经认证的投票技术设备，均属重罪；握有权力者指使下属行抢夺者同罪。SB 259（Wahab）规定，握有权力者指使下属干扰邮寄选票的投递或回收，属重罪；经手邮寄选票者干扰其向选民投递，属轻罪。AB 1664（Jackson）要求，地方机构、政治分支或选举官员一旦知悉任何涉及选举记录或经认证投票技术的搜查令、传票或正在进行的执法调查，须立即、最迟在一个日历日内通报州务卿和州总检察长。SB 1418 规定，从选举官员保管之下取走选举材料或投票技术设备构成犯罪。
其余法案还包括：修订扩展《加州投票权法》，防范选民压制与选票稀释（SB 1164）；扩大选举相关材料的语言服务（SB 1360）；延长邮寄选票投递点的开放时间（SB 884）；将「深伪」等实质欺骗性选举媒体的禁令期限延长至2031年并调整相关规则（AB 686、AB 502）；对受竞选委员会付费发布网络政治内容而未按要求披露者施加行政、民事或刑事处罚（AB 1130）；在州数据与创新办公室设立 Engaged California 计划（AB 2103）；由州务卿评估替代原联邦选举网络安全资源的需求（AB 2281）；制定统一程序，允许选民在投票站不使用邮寄选票识别信封进行投票（SB 1420）。
州预算同时为选举系统列支专项投入：2900万美元供各县增聘人员、升级技术与设备以加快计票；500万美元用于县级选民宣传教育；500万美元由州务卿办公室用于全州宣传；75万美元用于打击虚假信息、防范联邦干预。
州务卿 Shirley Weber 与州总检察长 Rob Bonta 在声明中对法案包表示支持。签署前，联邦最高法院刚阻止了特朗普政府试图通过美国邮政系统限制邮寄投票的做法。纽森同日还签署了 SB 1354，为州际军事部署划定界线。（GSM 据加州州长办公室发布报道）

Newsom Signs 13 Election-Protection Bills: Seizing Ballots Now a Felony as California Guards Against Federal Interference
LOS ANGELES — California Governor Gavin Newsom on September 19 signed a package of 13 election-protection bills at the Democracy Center of the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, creating new felony penalties for interfering with California's ballots and election systems ahead of the November midterm elections. The venue was a site federal agents visited last year in what the Governor's office described as an attempt to politically intimidate California officials and the broader Los Angeles community.
"Donald Trump won't stop until he can exert dictatorial control over your free vote and disenfranchise millions of people this November. California will stop him at every opportunity. We have no bigger task than fighting to protect the right to vote from interference and meddling — the future of democracy is on the line. These bills today build upon the wall California has built to safeguard our electoral process," Newsom said in a statement.
Under AB 282 (Pellerin), seizing, causing, or assisting in the seizure of ballots, election records, or certified voting technology before election results are certified is a felony, as is directing a subordinate to do so. SB 259 (Wahab) makes it a felony for a person in authority to direct a person under their supervision to interfere with the delivery or return of a vote-by-mail ballot, and a misdemeanor for a person who has charge of a mail ballot to interfere with its delivery to a voter. AB 1664 (Jackson) requires a local agency, political subdivision, or elections official to notify the Secretary of State and the California Attorney General immediately, and no later than one calendar day, after becoming aware of any warrant, subpoena, or active law-enforcement investigation involving election records or certified voting technology. SB 1418 makes it a crime to take election materials or voting technology from the custody of election officials.
The remaining bills revise and expand the California Voting Rights Act against voter suppression and vote dilution (SB 1164); increase language-access services and translated election materials (SB 1360); extend vote-by-mail drop-off hours (SB 884); extend the prohibition on distributing materially deceptive election media, including deepfakes, from 2027 to 2031 and adjust related rules (AB 686, AB 502); allow penalties against people paid by campaign committees to post online political content without the required disclaimer (AB 1130); establish the Engaged California Program within the Office of Data and Innovation (AB 2103); direct the Secretary of State to assess the need to replace federal election-cybersecurity resources (AB 2281); and establish uniform procedures allowing voters to cast a mail ballot at a polling location without its identification envelope (SB 1420).
The state budget also includes $29 million for counties to hire staff and upgrade technology and equipment to speed counting, $5 million for county-level voter outreach, $5 million for statewide outreach through the Secretary of State, and $750,000 to combat mis- and disinformation. Secretary of State Shirley Weber and Attorney General Rob Bonta voiced support for the package. Before the signing, the U.S. Supreme Court had blocked the Trump administration's attempt to use the U.S. Postal Service to restrict access to vote-by-mail. Newsom also signed SB 1354 the same day, drawing a line around state-to-state military deployments. (GSM, based on the California Governor's office release)
